Abigail Favale

The question of gender—who we are as men and women—has never been more pressing, or more misunderstood. Weaving personal experience with expert knowledge, Dr. Abigail Favale provides an in-depth yet accessible account of the gender paradigm: a framework for understanding reality and identity that has recently risen to prominence. Favale traces the genealogy of gender to its origins in feminism and postmodern thought, describing how gender has come to eclipse sex, and how that shift is reshaping language, law, medicine, sexuality, and our own self-perceptions. With substance, clarity, and compassion, Favale teases out the hidden assumptions of the gender paradigm and exposes its effects. Yet this book is not merely an exposé—it is also a powerful, moving articulation of a Christian understanding of reality: a holistic paradigm that proclaims the dignity of the body, the sacramental meaning of sexual difference, and the interconnectedness of all creation. The Genesis of Gender is a vital, timely resource for anyone seeking to better understand the gender paradigm—and how to live beyond it.

A Christian Theory

The Genesis of Gender

La cuestión de género -quiénes somos como hombres y mujeres- nunca ha sido más apremiante ni tan incomprendida. Entretejiendo experiencia personal e investigación, la Dra. Favale ofrece un relato profundo pero accesible del paradigma de género: rastrea sus orígenes en el feminismo y en el pensamiento posmoderno, y describe cómo el género ha llegado a eclipsar al sexo y a remodelar el lenguaje, el derecho, la medicina, la sexualidad y nuestra propia autopercepción. Además de exponer esa hoja de ruta, defiende también la solidez de la mirada cristiana sobre la realidad, proclamando la dignidad del cuerpo, el significado sacramental de la diferencia sexual y la interconexión de toda la creación.
